Zion Canyon Lodge

The lodge location is right in heart of Springdale with many cafe/restaurants within couple of minutes walking distance. The city shuttle also stops round the corner and drops to entrance of the National Park from where you take the park mandatory shuttle. Very well-organized shuttles. The king bed - room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast was meh but then when you stay here, the idea is to go for early sunrise hike and the hotel provides a paper bag breakfast with bagel, apple, yogurt which is great for hikes. Overall good stay - and yes, the receptionist is sweetheart.

Set in a fantastic location with easy access to local shops; restaurants and the free and frequent shuttle buses to take you around the park. My husband and I were on a road trip visiting the National Parks and stayed for two nights. We found the reception staff extremely friendly and helpful and there was a wonderful selection of complimentary teas coffees and juices readily available in reception. Breakfast which guests collect from reception was also excellent. The family room was spacious with a large bedroom and very comfortable bed; good sized bathroom and lounge / kitchen. Plenty of towels were provided along with toiletries and efficient A/C system.

The location was ideal, close to the shuttle into Zion with so many meal choices nearby. The area felt very safe, so we took advantage of morning and evening walks. The coffee machine was a nice feature. The grab and go breakfast was not all that appealing, but each of us found something we wanted to eat.

Continental style breakfast foods such as apples, bananas, muffins, and hard boiled eggs in a small paper bag with teas and coffees. Comfortable beds, nice big bathroom, parking near your door, early check-in, close to Zion Nat'l Park entrance, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Stacking, full size washer and dryer available, a nice deli/grocery store across the street to buy single detergent boxes and good soups, bread, and baked goods.

We particularly liked the view from the walkway outside our room. However there were just a few benches on the length of the walkway - but there were a number of rooms opening off it. It would have been a good idea for chairs to be provided on the walkway for each room. The location was close to restaurants and the very good supermarket - and also to the shuttle stop for the park. Some minor maintenance issues were resolved quickly.
